Abstract
A braking device 1 is provided for a tape reel mounted rotatably about its axis. The braking device 1 includes two rotating members 10, 20 rotationally coupled with the reel, and a selection member 30 configured to cooperate by friction selectively with either one of the rotating members 10, 20 by moving the selection member to engage one or the other rotating member for friction braking.
Claims17
A braking device for braking rotation of a tape reel mounted rotatably about an axis of the reel, wherein the braking device comprises:
- two rotating members mounted rotatably at the axis and rotationally coupled with the reel;
- and
- a selection member configured to cooperate by friction selectively with one or the other of the rotating members, the selection member being supported non-rotatably with respect to rotation of the rotating members, and
- wherein the selection member is mounted to be displaceable between a passive position located at a distance from either of the rotating members and a first active position where it cooperates by friction with one of the two rotating members and between the passive position and a second active position where it cooperates by friction with the other of the two rotating members.
